salty brains

From:

"Molinari, Betsy"

Hi everyone,
A pathologist I do not regularly work with sent some bovine brains to my
lab last week. He added salt, regular table salt, to the 10% NBF solution to
float the brain. The amount for each brain varied, depending on how how soon
the brain started to float. What affect will this have on subsequent
sections?
Thanks in advance.
